okcosmetic 3 Posts Sep 20, 2009 I am researching this program as well. I am trying to get any info out there. I am in oklahoma, and trying to get an answer from my board if they will accept this program.
Boonce1 143 Posts Sep 23, 2009 I am also researching this school . They have a new online program for FNP which just started this week. I am thinking about starting in the summer session I want to see how the first class does.
okcosmetic 3 Posts Sep 24, 2009 Have you found it a little difficult to get a whole lot of info from them? I would like to do FNP as well. do you mind teling me what state you are in and does your board accept their online program?
Boonce1 143 Posts Sep 24, 2009 you can call them and they will e mail you more details. The FNP online option is new program it just started. They have always had a FNP program this is the first time it has been offered online. You need a 3.0 from a BSN program it takes 2 years to complete. No on campus visit cost about 31,000 which is a little pricey but I figure with no visit to campus. It makes up for having to travel and getting a baby sitter. I am not for sure if my state of IL takes the online program. I received my RN from excelsior and the state of IL will endorse my liscense after 2 years of practice in another state. SO I work in MO as an RN and in IL I work as an LPN. I work partime in MO and part time in IL. I live near the border of IL and MO. I have been looking into a lot of different schools I have a list the top three right now is Murray state university only 15,000 but requires some weekly campus visit towards the clinical portion of the program. Only 18 months to complete. University of Ciniciniti, and Graceland which is only 24,000 and requires one 3 day visit and an week visit toward the end. If i do not get in to any of the FNP program my job will help go to nurse educator they have a contract with another school and they will help pay for it if I go to their school. I have always wanted to be a FNP so I am praying that I get in. I have one more semester to go and I will have completed my BSN I will be done FEB 28th . So I am hoping to start in a summer session i will keep you posted If you find any other good online schools for FNP let me know. I have also checked out Case western which is very costly but you get finish a lot faster. I also looked in to frontier school which I hear is a great school. It could possibly be an option too. Make a comparison chart and choose the best school that will fit into your schedule. I like online classes it aloow me to be with my family more so i definitly think Uof C would be great for me because their are no campus visits.
nlt284 52 Posts Specializes in Women's Health Nurse Practitioner. May 14, 2010 Did any of you end up going to University of Cincinnati? I have applied to their online program and was curious if you received an acceptance letter through email or in the mail. THanks for any information you have!

BRS9683 6 Posts Jun 9, 2010 Hi cardioicu,When did you send in your application materials? I'm wondering as I sent in my application on April 21 and still haven't heard anything. I applied for the Fall 2010 FNP program as well. Thanks!
cardioicu 4 Posts Specializes in Cardiac ICU. Jul 19, 2010 Sorry for the late response. I turned in all of my materials on April 13. Have you heard back yet?
BRS9683 6 Posts Jul 19, 2010 Yes, I heard back from the University of Cincinnati on 6/25. I was accepted in to the FNP program beginning in January. :) I had applied for Fall but there has been such a large interest in the program that the earliest I can begin is January. I can't wait to start! Have you registered for classes?
